Hey, congrats with finishing lesson 1!
I think the biggest feedback I can give is to be more confident in your lines. Makes strokes confidently, and if you make a mistake, don't get nervous and start chicken scratching for the answer. Overshooting lines can be frustrating, but I believe that will get better with time, as well as diligent thought.
Your ellipses don't always hold their course, and I think that's a matter of getting warmed up and drawing loosely from your shoulder. The funnel ellipses had a tendency to tilt left(?) a bit, so just be aware of that.
You've got a pretty good understanding of perspective, which may be part of the reason why you try to correct your 'incorrect' lines. I think this will get better over time, and some conscious understanding and acceptance of your lines would go a long ways.
Keep up the good work! :)
Next Steps:
250 Box Challenge to become more comfortable drawing confident lines and boxes.
Lesson 2
Thank you! I will definitely keep that in mind!
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
